"Le Manuel d'Épictète" est une magnifique introduction à la philosophie antique et au stoïcisme. Un livre de chevet pour celui qui cherche des préceptes de vie. Une œuvre bouleversante de vérité. C'est un ouvrage accessible, souvent étudié en classe de terminale. "Ce qui trouble les hommes, ce ne sont pas les choses, mais les jugements qu'ils portent sur les choses. Ainsi la mort n'est rien de redoutable [...] mais le jugement que nous portons sur la mort en la déclarant redoutable, c'est là ce qui est redoutable."

Critias o De La Atlántida es uno de los últimos diálogos de Platón. Parece ser una continuación de La República y el Timeo, es de carácter inconcluso y su contenido describe la guerra entre la Atenas prehelénica y la Atlántida, hipotético imperio occidental e isla misteriosa descrita por el sofista Critias. Éste sostiene que la Atlántida existió en una época muy remota, y la sitúa «más allá de las columnas de Heracles». Dicha isla mitológica fue tragada por el mar y se perdió para siempre.

The Enchiridion is a collection of the most profound teachings of Epictetus (c. AD 55-135), who taught that philosophy is a way of life and not just a matter of theory. The Enchiridion is a canonical text of Stoic philosophy and contains all the fundamentals. Among them is the principle of not being concerned with that which is out of one’s control. Misfortune should not disturb the individual at all and should not be perceived negatively.

To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control, and we should calmly accept whatever happens. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through self-discipline.

In these aphorisms, the philosopher reflects on our mortality and the knowledge that we will suffer in this life. However, each of us has the choice to endure with dignity those setbacks that we cannot control, he contends. Acceptance is core in Stoic doctrine.

"De la brevedad de la Vida", es un ensayo de Séneca, en el que el autor utiliza la prosa epistolar para dar a conocer, en veinte breves apartados, sus pensamientos filosóficos sobre la vida. Séneca plantea y desarrolla una paradoja, pues, frente a la idea generalizada de que la vida es breve, él considera que es larga si se sabe vivir de acuerdo con la razón, en el camino de la sabiduría y la virtud. Lo que exige no dejarse arrastrar por las pasiones y las obligaciones no rectas. Probablemente esta obra estuvo influenciada por la experiencia de sus años de destierro.

The extraordinary principles of Stoicism instructed through the narrative of its most acclaimed defender.

Stoicism is called the philosophical doctrine that practiced mastery of the passions that disturb life using virtue and reason; as such, its purpose was to achieve happiness and wisdom regardless of comfort, material goods, and fortune. Hence, it also designates a certain moral attitude related to strength and equanimity in character.

The full title of Seneca’s work Of Providence is "Why do misfortunes happen to good men, if providence exists?". The longer title reflects the essay’s theme which is more concerned with theodicy and the question of why bad things happen to good people, rather than with providence. The essay is written as a dialogue in six brief sections, opened by Lucilius complaining to his friend Seneca that misfortunes befall to good people too. How does this fit with the goodness associated with the design of providence?

Selon Sénèque, la colère serait une courte folie. Mais comment la définir ? Quels sont ses effets délétères ? Peut-on se contenter de la tempérer, ou faut-il essayer de la supprimer ?

Aunque su datación exacta es incierta, el texto, por su temática, pertenece al ciclo platónico de las primeras obras llamadas Socráticas, que Platón escribió en su juventud, e incluso se piensa que es su primera obra. ​La Apología se divide en tres partes.
